OLga [1]

Answer:

3/16 or 0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she remembers the first two digits, she only has to guess the last two digits. If both digits are greater than 5, there are 4 possible alternatives for each digit (6, 7, 8 or 9).

In three tries, the probability that she will get it right is:

$P=\frac{3}{4*4}\\P=\frac{3}{16}=0.1875$

The probability she will get access to her account is 3/16 or 0.1875.

Cheryl is buying lace for her dance costume. One foot of lace costs 3 dollars. How much does each amount cost?

NemiM [27]

Answer:

3/4 of a foot will cost $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by rule of three, due to proportions.

One foot of lace costs 3 dollars. How much is 3/4 of a foot going to cost?

1 foot - 3 dollars

3/4 foot - x dollars

$x = 3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25$

So

3/4 of a foot will cost $2.25.
